What about me makes people think I'm available?

- From people assuming I work in stores despite the absence of a uniform (I never wear the store's colors either),

- to people asking me for directions or the time (it's usually ok),

- to people always trying to recruit me tp their religion or cult (gets annoying over time to get 3 to 5 'invitations' a day tbh)

- and people asking me for money (for this one, some are true as afar as I can tell, most are scammers though since I always - and I mean every single time - catch them not doing what they asked me money for. Ex: asking other people for money instead of taking the bus they asked money for, buying things that are not the meal they said they wanted literally in front of me as I am waiting for my uber with the coins I just handed them)

I feel like people think I'm an easy target

What may cause that and how can I change it when needed?

Having a job I don't like

I lowkey need it but I don't

I could quit today and have something else in late June

But they'll pay me for the training

My biggest gripe with it is that they treat *everyone* like a prop

And that's the one thing I despise

I haven't even started and I already want to quit

I did it a few years back and I remember having a whole resignation plan if they ever tried to cross the line of public humiliation with me

People can say what they want about 'cringe doesn't kill'

Idc

My dignity is important to me

If I'm not comfortable, I will leave

The only thing that made training worth it last year was the actual job. I loved every single exhausting second of that job

This year, I wouldn't even get to the job since I have something else lined up like I said

My friends thinks I should stick it out for the paycheck, but God if I don't feel my skin crawling already

What do I do? My mom doesn't want me to quit but last year I'd come home every single time close to tears or literally crying.

I hate being a prop

I hate having to stay in a crowd of people I don't like

I hate being surrounded by people and still feel alone

I hate it, I hated it, I know I will hate it again

My mental health will take a nosedive again after spending these past few months rebuilding myself

What do I do?

Should I stick it out for the paycheck? My bank account could absolutely use it, but I won't die immediately if i don't do it

Wasn't sure what to tag it, but lmk what you think

SA/SH and victim blaming

TW: SA/SH

My coworker was gropped *in public* by a gay doctor

She made a report to HR despite the claims that it was a joke. They're handling it (I already know no one will be fired since we're short staffed)

Most people have gone quiet. The few that speak up say it's her fault for showing off (she got a new tattoo) and that it couldn't be bad since the doctor is gay

Obviously, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not to take your shirt off at work, that doesn't give anyone the right to *grab a boob* without consent even as a joke

Sure there was no sexual intent behind it, doesn't give anyone the right to touch though

Can we do better? I'm sick and tired of people, especially some black women, blaming women for being objectified and in this case assaulted

What to paint on here?

Found it in my cousin's basement. They said I could have it.

I'm thinking of blotting the blue with bleach to see what happens.

What should I paint on the white?

There's an empty notebook inside btw

I could hear a girl's entire playlist at the library today despite not removing her headphones even once for 2+ hours (words, instrumental. I could hear some distortion too though no bass)

My headphones are decoration so my hearing's perfect. How's yours?

What the heck man!

I saw a good deal for a car on marketplace, like a really good deal, not too good to be true, just good

and I saw a job posting (from a place that's actually hiring) with a really good salary and worker benefits

BUT!

the location of the work is remote

I currently don't have enough to buy said car

My life is a joke 🤧

but at least I got a license 🕺💃😎

she's not perfect. no one is. but she is closer to a largerly overlooked part of the community than most currently promoted black actresses (even though she's not being promoted rn) As this is an appreciation post, I will not comment further but take from this what you will

1st pic is her with her sisters

I've tried asking people irl and I never get a straight answer. I've come to the conclusion that it's someone that makes the observer feel warm/hot.

now, I'd like to know what makes you look at a person and go 'yeah, they're hot'

like genuinely. is it the face? is it the body? is it both? what makes it that Kim K, Zendaya, Sidney Sweeny, Rihanna are considered hot? I can understand in theory that they stand out (I think) but what makes Henry Cavill, Zac Effron, Leo D, MBJ hot/good-looking?

while we're at it, can someone explain to me what people are seeing when they say a couple looks good together? or two people would make a good couple?

I'm so lost sometimes
